"See Your Majesty!"

Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang led more than ten officials from the Six Ministries and the Ducha Yuan to slowly enter the palace and salute.

"Excuse me, give me a seat!"

Emperor Chongzhen's dragon eyes looked around at everyone, waved his hand and said in harmony: "I am not feeling well during this time, and I can't dictate politics.

It is up to the secretaries of state to uphold the country's affairs, handle the aircraft, and calm the people's hearts, so that I have no worries. I am here, thank you, thank you for your hard work! ”

The people present were all high-ranking officials, executives of the Daming Company, no matter what their performance was, after they sat down, Emperor Chongzhen directly spoke kindly.

Emperor Chongzhen's posture surprised the ministers present.

In recent years, state affairs have gradually become erosive, and His Majesty's personality has become more and more irritable, and except for a limited number of courtiers, few courtiers have a good face to treat the courtiers.

The slightest discord is a big rage.

Today, under the Son of Heaven's ceremony, it can be said that he has given enough face, and the ministers are comfortable and humble.

After saying some words and creating a harmonious atmosphere between the monarch and the minister, Emperor Chongzhen asked directly: "Zhuqing has come to see you, what is the difficulty, and you can explain it directly?" ”

The first to be listed was Yang Sichang, who was in charge of the military department, acting the cabinet, responsible for the collection of food and equipment for King Qin's army, as well as the dispatch of the army, etc., which were all important and urgent matters.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Yang Sichang's face is tired, full of hard work and exhaustion.

The things he handles are both hard and critical, and it is never too much to say that he is riddled with everything.

Emperor Chongzhen noticed Yang Sichang's eye bags, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were also more engraved, revealing a deep sense of line.

Sometimes, by observing whether an official is doing something or not, and paying attention to his mental outlook, you can get a glimpse of it.

Yang Sichang is a person, although he may have flaws in emotional intelligence and political methods, he is still absolutely serious in his work, and he has not lived up to the trust of the deity.

If you work so hard, it is inevitable that you will become sick from hard work.

Eventually, he vomited blood and died.

In the final analysis, the military department of the Chongzhen Dynasty was originally a high-risk industry, and few people could die well.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and the household department have verified that in the warehouses of the capital, there are still more than 102,000 stones of grain, 89,030 taels of silver, and a total of cloth and silk......

If King Qin's army gathers in Beijing, it will not last for a month, and there will be a shortage of food.

Weapons, ordnance, and quartermaster production, as well as the cost of soldiers and Ding Zhuang, will be rewarded later...... I am afraid that it will be difficult for the silver to support half a month, and the gap is very large.

The details of this have been estimated by the minister according to the number of King Qin, please read it to Your Majesty! ”

Yang Sichang hoarsely voiced, briefly reported a few numbers, then took out a letter and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Aiqing is attentive."

For the courtiers who work hard, Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate to praise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

Yang Sichang leaned over and returned to his seat safely.

He was one of the few people who knew about Emperor Chongzhen's follow-up plans, so he was not worried about too much food.

Picking up the fold presented to the imperial case, Emperor Chongzhen flipped through it at will, and found that the required number and the existing number in the treasury were more than three times different.

Moreover, Yang Sichang used all the money in the treasury for the military.

As for the hundred officials, he automatically ignored it.

Obviously, he was going to default on the rhythm.

However, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, up to now, there are few people who live on Yulu.

"The treasury is like washing, and the treasury of a country is not as good as the rich and noble family in the capital."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed with emotion, and put the fold on the imperial case, too lazy to look at it again.

It is no wonder that in history, the deity was thousands of miles away, and he repeatedly urged Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou to fight a quick battle against the rebels and Jiannu.

It's not that he's impatient, it's that he's too poor.

And it's not ordinary poor, poor enough to apply for a five-guarantee household.

The transfer of more than 100,000 people, the expedition of nearly 1,000 miles, the food loss during the period, how do you pay for the deity who even saves the rations of his wife and children?

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's somewhat sloppy attitude made Jiang Dejing, the head of the household, mistaken, he thought that His Majesty was sad to death, so he hurriedly got up and explained:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, at present, the autumn grain harvest in all parts of the Yangtze River has ended, and the autumn tax will also be put into storage, which should alleviate the current urgency."

Your Majesty, rest assured?

Emperor Chongzhen was amused by Jiang Dejing's words.

Du Yin has eaten the grain, and the money he didn't receive is planned to go in, and his own household book still tells him to rest assured, how should this be answered?

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

It hurts!

Speaking of which, the military department of the Ming Dynasty is a high-risk industry, so the household department is not a human job!

Except for Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department of the Chongzhen Dynasty worked for a longer time, and the others were all overlooked, the long ones were only a year, the short ones were only a few months, and there were those who were appointed and did not do it.

It's really Daming's family background, too poor to do it!

This Jiang Dejing is quite good, although he is not as strict as Bi Ziyan, a financial expert, but he can barely make do with it.

Moreover, this person can also be regarded as an important minister, Jiannu entered the customs, swallowed gold and died.

For the dead, regardless of ability, Emperor Chongzhen will generally be a little more tolerant.

Slowly retracting his smile, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head with a long sigh, and gave instructions, "Far water can't quench your thirst, and the capital is besieged, and it is not easy for autumn grain to enter Beijing."

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Caoyun, relieved Jinan of grain and ordered Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, to set up a standing position and think that he was the official prince. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all stunned, what kind of operation is this?

Jinan is more than 800 miles away from the capital, and when the soldiers of King Qin want to eat, the daylily is cold.

Your Majesty's words are obviously a little irrational!

Jiang Dejing, the secretary of the household department, was still conscientious, and he leaned over to advise, "Your Majesty, the capital has insufficient storage and is suffering from lack of food.

And due to the influx of refugees, the market food prices have gradually risen, and the refugees in the city are also starving!

If you don't let the autumn grain enter Beijing, it will be difficult to support the consumption of millions of people and soldiers in the capital with only the reserves of the capital, so I implore Your Majesty to think twice! ”

Obviously, Jiang Dejing was already polite.

"It's okay, do as you are told!"

Emperor Chongzhen's face was solemn, and he said in a low and unquestionable tone: "The foundation of the country, sufficient food is the first. I will not let the people under my rule, and I will not have enough to eat.

This matter, don't worry, I will solve it. ”

As soon as the words came out, the hall was silent, and the ministers were stunned again.

PS: Ladies and gentlemen, the treasury is like a wash, the ticket library is empty, contribute a little vote......
